003 Do What Thou Wilt


Listen Later

Magick as a spiritual tradition in its own right; all wisdom traditions as inseparable from magick; all that is needed to understand Aleister Crowley is The Book of the Law (TBOTL) and one’s own comprehension; Crowley in the role of a prophet and what this entails; the origin and form of TBOTL; the redundancy of commentaries on TBOTL; TBOTL without commentary or interpretation; the revelations of Nuit, Hadit, and Ra Hoor Khuit; divinity and the relationship of human beings to it; how the prophet reveals the nature of reality and gives a Law that can be followed, with a description of the consequences if it is not followed; Law and reality; the nature of Divine Law and morality; the meaning of “do what thou wilt”; True Will as the real meaning of “do what thou wilt”; if the Law is not taken as divinely revealed then it is merely a secular philosophy; the absurdity of this misapprehension of True Will; the obscuration by contemporary culture of the nature of True Will; the promises of Nuit and the requirement of devotion to her; how True Will is orientation towards the Divine; renunciation of the world and appearance versus union with the divine; being raised up versus being righteous; different expressions of True Will and how this is reflected in the work of union with the Holy Guardian Angel; the difference of True Will from roles and personality traits; realisation of something greater than oneself; magickal results beyond conception or expectations; recognising True Will as the free expression of one’s nature without conflict; “false will” as that informed by a false understanding of our nature; going beyond identity and becoming a person; True Will versus vocation; angels and the question of free will; why human beings are not free; the experience of union with the Divine and the falling back into the human; how all awakenings and spiritual experiences are appearances; the absolute freedom of the Divine; the contrast with exoteric ideas of the Divine; the sacrifice of the self as always necessarily ideal, whereas acting from the self leads to conflict; True Will as the former; not doing True Will as conflict with others; Ra Hoor Khuit as god of war and vengeance; the consequence of not doing True Will; the current times as manifesting the effects of extracting value from others and not accepting them for who they are; the significance of attraction to Crowley despite misgivings; cultivation of the truth without gatekeepers; repugnance towards the teachings; how the gates are always open; sin as the restriction of one’s divine nature; negative feelings that this can provoke in opposition to love, compassion, and mercy; online opposition to the Order; suspicion of Magia; insinuations of racism; paranoia, fear, shame, and scapegoating as characteristic of contemporary occult discourse; the dangers and potential harmfulness of this mindset; “objectionable views” and privilege; fear of unintentional sin; the allegory of drowning and how to avoid getting into the water with those who are drowning; seeking higher ground through exercising True Will; sinking into or rising from the deluge; the Order and the Magia teachings as means to avoid drowning; how True Will cannot mitigate challenges and outcomes but does provide a means to escape drowning; how True Will provides a positive feedback loop of virtue.


Intro music by Alan Chapman. Outro music from loops by users mildperil, Tumbleweed, and VladEisch at looperman.com.
